00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: It's true story.

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm not making it up.

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: Everybody knows baby Boy was supposed to be a role

00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: for Tupac.

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Yes, how difficult was that saying that? You know what?

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 3: I had wrote this originally for my friend because you

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: guys was friends and he's not here. How difficult was

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: that to pick that actor, that Tyree's actor.

46
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: I put it up on the shove for years after

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: that because the last thing, last conversation I had with

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: Park was at the Chris Shawn Maul. He was doing

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: this video to Live and Die in La and I

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: was like, I got the movie. That's going to get

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: you an oscar, you know, and that was it. That

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: was And then you know, a couple of weeks later,

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: he wasn't with us anymore. So I didn't. I wasn't.

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: I hadn't planned on doing the movie at all at all.

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: And it just I know Tyree since he was sixteen

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 4: years old, and I dished this movie Shaft. He was

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: supposed to be Tyree's was supposed to be in the movie,

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: but he was too busy being an MTV VJ. I said, Okay,

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: I got this movie. I'm gonna pull off the shelf.

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: And you know, you know, just like people have stuff

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: and files and stuff, I got movies and crates and

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: stuff that I've written. And I said, okay, maybe this

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: is the time to do this movie.

64
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: But by the way, Shaft, like when people do remakes,

65
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: it's very hard because and I can't believe how you pulled.

66
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Off Shaft like that.

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was, it was. It was good.

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: It was good to be in New York. It was

69
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: a crazy time to be too.

70
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: I was. We was in the heighest we was in

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: We was in harlew Over, We was all over the

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: whole city.

73
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: It was it was.

74
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: You know, you remember it was that was when I

75
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: was making that movie. We were the only movie that

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: was shooting at the time. It was like in the daytime,

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: in the night, I was shooting in the night, and

78
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: then sometimes at night I was up in Cheetah and

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: Central Fly.

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: Like it was first, what was the first thing I

81
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: said to you?

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god. But I was like

83
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: I was a wild person then I was I'm different now,

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: more conservative conservative movies.

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: It's movies like you have to go through something like

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: you know how sometimes comedians will come out with things

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: every five years because it's like they actually got to

88
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: go through experiences.

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: For me, it's for me, making films is kind of

90
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: an emotional experience. You know. I put my all into it.

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: I put my heart and soul, you know, and it's

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: just like it takes something out of you, but it

93
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: gives something back.

94
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: And every time I do a movie, it's an adventure.

95
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: So, you know, lately, I've been just like concentrated on

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: television instead of movies because people watching more TV than

97
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 4: there are films, and there's a lot more to do.

98
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 4: You know, like you can make it. You make a

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: movie every two or three years, but a film a

100
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: TV show, it's like doing a movie. Every week. You

101
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: get a chance to shoot, pull a new talent, put

102
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: people in and see how they work, and then maybe

103
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: if they work in the TV show, then you take

104
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 4: them off to a movie. So that's my that's my body.

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: And you feel the same way about writing and directing.

106
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I have to write whatever I do,

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: I have to write. I have to write because I

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: have to put my own stink on it.

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: Now, what made you say to ice Cube? You said,

110
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: because because I remember you saying that you knew.

111
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Thank you.

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: So you said to ice Cube, and just so you know,

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: it's a plastic on it, come on, help him out,

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: Come on, you're closes.

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Let me show it over daily. I don't even know

116
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: how to do it.

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: But you said to ice Cube that his first rhymes

118
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: were like movie like so, and then he went later

119
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 3: on and created Friday.

120
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Did you ever think that you you should have been

121
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: about a Friday as well? Yeah?

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 4: I did.

123
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: Let's keep his true story was cute.

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: When we were doing Boys in the Hood, he started

125
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: like looking at how movies were made, watching the set,

126
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: so that he did a video called Dead Homies.

127
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: You've seen that video. It's really cinematic.

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: He started like doing slow ust shots and really cinematic stuff.

129
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: And you know, even when Cube had other.

130
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: People direct to move the videos, he would be quasi directed.

131
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 4: So then he was like, okay, I want to write movies.

132
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: I said, well, okay, we gotta get a laptop. He

133
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 4: me him and his now wife when she was just

134
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: founcing and going to laptop's a screenwriting stuff. So he started,

135
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: he wrote. He wrote from that. The next year and

136
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: a half, he wrote like three screenplays. He wrote different

137
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: titles and screenplays, and every one of them I was

138
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: like this one no.

139
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: And then he stopped showing me his screenplays. Wow. So

140
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: then he wrote because I kept shitting on him a

141
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: little bit.

142
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: I was because it's my brother, right, you could do

143
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: better than this, right. And then but he was also

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: selling them too. You know, it didn't matter if I

145
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: thought there was happening. He sold some stuff to Universal.

146
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: He was selling like right after that we got produced,

147
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: he was just selling screenplays. And then so then he

148
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: did he we do we do higher learning together. And

149
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,280

00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: that all on his own. Man, he's you know, look

163
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Because Higher Learning, I feel like, was a socially called

164
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: conscious movie. Yeah, we don't really have socially conscious movies anymore.

165
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: Are we missing that? We're missing a lot of things.

166
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: We're missing.

167
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: We're missing an era of John this is how we

168
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: do it, and drinks that's how we do it. So

169
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: are we missing social consciousness movies? I think we're missing

170
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: movies that about something. I think we need that now

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: more than.

172
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,160

176
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: for him to tell that story. And now him he's

177
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: doing the Trayvon Martin story. I feel like.

178
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: Doing a movie and doctor Trayvon mind and I think

179
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: that's really smart and and something that needs to be

180
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 4: done because.

181
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: We need that, like for our community, because I just

182
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: feel like it's balanced. I feel like level spell backwards,

183
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: this level we've got a balance in and I feel

184
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: like that's the perfect way. It's just it's because there's

185
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: so many of us more in our community, what more

Speaker 4: that they're They don't push hard enough in terms of

267
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: the culture as much as possible, you know what I'm saying,

268
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, like in terms of mainstream movies,

269
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: you know, and that needs to be.

270
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: Done, you know what I mean, because like because like

271
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: like Boys in the Hood was so much of important message.

272
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: It's just like yo, you know, you can.

273
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: Live the street life, but there is actually consequences exactly

274
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: this actually, and that's what hip hop sometimes fails to tell.

275
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: We only always yeah sell the drugs. I don't know

276
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna do nine years?

277
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like nothing that at the

278
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: end of it, Yeah, exactly. No, I'm all about the

279
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: reality of it. You know what I'm saying.

280
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: What's that like your goal?

281
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 4: Because I know, oh wow, My goal was just basically

282
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: telling the story. I was just like, you know, just

283
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: like trying to get something off my chest. That an

284
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: experience that I lived, that that I lived through and

285
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: that a lot of my family and friends had lived through.

286
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: So that was always about what.

287
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: If ice Cube said no to play dough Boy, who

288
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: would have played that?

289
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 6: I don't know, I can't want to go there, think

290
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 6: of nobody.

291
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: Where would we be now he.

292
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: Didn't play the part man, It was like, you know,

293
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: I think he was robbed of an Oscar nomination. I

294
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 4: think because it's one of those timeless performances that that

295
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: just exists. You know what I'm saying.

296
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna be honest with you. When I look

297
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: at like, if I want to describe the West Coast

298
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: how I first visualized the West Coast, I would start

299
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: at Boys and I would start there and be like,

300
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: you're working around it. I actually go there first and

301
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: then Colors.

302
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: I cursed it when I was a school with pil

303
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: East Coast. I don't know that was real, No, but

304
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: it wasn't real. It was it was derivative. It wasn't

305
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: because it wasn't done by by by black people. It

306
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 4: was like it was like, you know, it was like

307
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: it was nothing about that that thing that was really

308
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: truly whatever. You know, like people were more caricatures, more caricatures,

309
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: they weren't real, you know.

310
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: And so you know, so now I got to get

311
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: to the million dollar question, what was that? Why is it?

312
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: John Singleton directed this Tupac, Why you gotta I feel

313
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: like you got get another shot.

314
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: I feel like you're gonna get another shot because we

315
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: want the real answer, and I'm gonna take one with you.

316

Speaker 4: was born in nineteen seventy one. I was born nineteen

376
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 4: seventy eight. We are revolutionary babies. It's a difference between

377
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 4: being a revolutionary baby and being someone who's just hip hops,

378
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. We were built, you know,

379
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 4: for the betterment of our people. We were built for

380
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 4: to bring everybody up, you know what I'm saying. And

381
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: a whole lot of stuff that happened, and in terms

382
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 4: of black liberation was faltered because black people were not

383
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: in solidarity with each other, you know what I'm saying.

384
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 4: So you know that's what I'm saying.

385
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to be.

386
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 4: I don't want to be that person that keeps on

387
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: having dissension or whatever. They made the movie. They stole

388
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 4: the rights from his mother, so they made the movie

389
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: they want to make And hopefully one day I'll get

390
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 4: a chance to tell that story. But otherwise I got

391
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: all this other ship that I'm trying to do that

392
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: is is in line with what my principles are as

393
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 4: a person and as a black man and that I'm

394
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: gonna do. So that's that's all I want to speak on.

395
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: This' makes no noise for that.

396
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 7: You can trying to make a part movie in the future, yeah,

397
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,720

400
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: too it's too it's too important not to just make

401
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 4: a movie. I mean, like, you know, there's so many

402
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: different things around why who he was as a person,

403
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 4: you know, and why people can be inspired by it,

404
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: you know.

405
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: No, it's it's such it's such a great story.

406
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: So when I heard, like you know, when people have

407
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: differences with it, I always listened because I.

Speaker 3: I was in jail, So I actually never got to

00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 6: that because I'm not.

633
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. How about Blood and Blood out

634
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: that the colors of America? Colors are doing? Another cho

635
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: another Come on, you got you going to a party

636
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: on your way to you so rich man hear you

637
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: got yachts and all types.

638
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: Of things, and you know what you're humble god, but

639
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: almost I'm a brag. I'm a brag for you, man.

640
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: I'm a brag for you man.

641
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

642
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 6: We listen.

643
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know, but our show is

644
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: about giving our legends flowers when they can smell them,

645
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: and trees when they can hell them. Because our society

646
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: so much praises the person after they die, and I

647
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 3: feel like that is so backwards. I should be able

648
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: to tell you how much I appreciate you right here,

649
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: face to face and a man out of eye, as

650
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: opposed to waiting for you to pass away and then

651
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: be like he.

652
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: Was a great guy, me and him party.

653
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: Together back in the day, Like I should say that now,

654
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: Like you know what I'm saying.

655
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: And I actually learned that through Dave Chappelle.

656
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: You know the way it was Prince and it was

657
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: like he started praising Prince while Prince was alive. And

658
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: it's just like, that's what we got to continue to do.

659
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: And that's not just as a culture, that's as as.

660
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: People as human human beings, as human beings.

661
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: We got to start praising our people while they're here.

662
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: So, with that being said, how was it working with

663
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Janet Jackson.

664
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: You know, come on, it's beautiful. It jerked off the

665
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: penny a lot. Throw that out there.

666
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 4: It was good.

667
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, is that serious, that whole age thing.

668
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: No, that was not serious. That was a joke that

669
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 4: we was having on the set. Because the real talk

670
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 4: is was attracted to Janet. I was attracted to Janet

671
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 4: the world. We're in the set, we're both trying to like,

672
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: you know, floodwater and stuff.

673
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, well, I don't know if you

674
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: know I.

675
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: Should have you kissing on my actress because you know,

676
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 4: you've been fucking around doing all this ship. You know,

677
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 4: Pocket was just coming in his own man right, and

678
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: I was like, man, that ship. I was like, yeah,

00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: you know what, you're gonna have to do a test

680
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 4: for y'all do this left scene. It was a joke.

681
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: He said that.

682
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 4: You said, you know, it's me sawing out my nigga

683
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: on the side right before, just like you know, talking ship.

684
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 4: And then we're like, oh, ship, we should we should

685
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: we should use this, we should put this out.

686
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: And so that's what we did as a publicity that it's.

687
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: A publicity thing. We just did that.

688
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:39,120

786
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: of that movie? You can't do them all? Man would

787
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: love to.

788
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 4: I would love to, yeah, because yeah, he was. He

789
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 4: was ultimate storyteller. And I still take a lot from

790
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 4: him as a storyteller in terms of the way that

791
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: he with Ben stuff, Ben lines, and he would just

792
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 4: you know, he was the He was.

793
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: The storyteller of the streets.

794
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 4: If you think about all the stuff that Jose that

795
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 4: you listened to him, they were really sad stories, some

796
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 4: of them exactly.

797
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: He was like Don Goring's pimple comedy. So people know

798
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: how to do that.

799
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: So when I take a lot from him in terms of,

800
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 4: like when I tell a story, just stuff that may

801
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 4: be a little sad but funny, funny but sad, you

802
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, because that's what life is. Life

803
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 4: is not just one thing, you know what I mean.

804
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: We can go to movies and say, oh, that's just

805
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 4: a comedy. All that movie is just a serious movie.

806
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 4: When you watch one of my movies, it's a reflection

807
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 4: of life. So I mean, Richard, Richard is an ultimate storyteller.

808
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 7: To me.

809
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: Will we ever have.

810
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: A dope error like that again, like the nineties cinema,

811
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: would that ever return a different way?

812
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 4: I think we have a different way. I think we

813
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: can in a different way. I think as long as

814
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: there's been more voices that are really uncut and pure

815
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 4: and just like, you know, not afraid to maybe necessary

816
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: offend some people, you know what I mean, Like, you

817
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 4: know that's what it's about. It's not you know, I

818
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 4: don't think people push it as far as they can

819
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 4: push it in terms of a of any anything.

820
